    3. Hello all, I am looking for copies of the following wills listed in the clerk's fee books of NANSEMOND county, VIRGINIA. The actual wills were supposedly burned in various courthouse fires but some remained in possession of the families and some were re-recorded I believe. Any help is truly appreciated. ABRAM RALLS {RAWLS} JEREMIAH RALLS {RAWLS} & JOHN RALLS {RAWLS} Executors of, record deceased will, 1799 THOMAS RALLS {RAWLS}, AENOS ? RALLS {RAWLS} & JOS. ROSS, Executors of record deceased will, 1799 there was both an AMOS and a ENOS RAWLS so that could have been either one. RACHEL BAKER, AMOS RALLS {RAWLS}, Copy of RACHEL BAKER'S will, 1796 AMOS RAWLS was exec. of her will and apparently married her daughter later, she being MARY BAKER, it appears that AMOS'S brother HARDY RAWLS married her sister PENNY BAKER as well. JOHN RALLS {RAWLS}, JEREMIAH RALLS {RAWLS}, exec. of, records deceased will, 1799 JEREMIAH RAWLS appears to have been the son of DAVID RAWLS who was a brother to this JOHN RAWLS. JOHN RAWLS transferred 300 acres to JEREMIAH RAWLS after the death of DAVID, JOHN had been holding the 650 acres that belonged to his brother DAVID after DAVID'S wife ELIZABETH died and then began transferring it to DAVID & ELIZABETH'S sons as they came of age. Many wills & deeds are referred to in the clerk's fee books for many families in NANSEMOND county, they are very helpful when used with other sources, especially the tax list of NANSEMOND county from 1782 to 1900. thanks again Bobby Rawls Big Spring, Texas
